Long time no see . . .


Yep, it's definitely been a while!!!! HOLY COW-- over a month!
Well folks, having a baby = busy, busy, busy! :) Just to quickly catch you all up--Abigail is now 4 months old! She is growing like a weed (at her 4 month appointment she was 13 lbs. 10.5 oz. and 24 inches long-- just a little above the 50th percentile!), she is rolling over like crazy, she laughs ALL THE TIME, and MAN! she is quite vocal!!! We love it! She is always chatting away about an exciting story that we have yet to decipher. Jake and I are doing great! Loving our little munchkin and watching our home being built (rather, waiting for the builders to break ground!!) Here is a picture montage of the last month--


The Roll-Over Girl!!!!

Hangin' out with Daddy in her Bumbo. . .

.... 15 minutes later!

We love to cuddle!!

Nana and Papa Came to visit!!!! We had such a great time!!!!

Donnie's new hat!!

One last time looking at Abigail's tree at Grammie's! Now the tree is bare :(
Poor Abigail-- what is she going to stare at when we are in Grammie's backyard??

What a happy little girl!! It's starting to get cold outside-- we have to bundle her up!!

The fam at Cheese's wedding!


We love Saturdays with Daddy!!


We went rock climbing with Cami, Curtis, & Paige!!!

Jake wanted to take Abigail up . . .but IT WAS FREEZING!!!!!! The wind was ice cold and to say the least it was interesting seeing Abigail outside in the cold-- she is a summer baby through and through!!

Abigail loves the outdoors :) (so does Paige!! (lower left))
After our rock climbing adventure . . . with wind burned cheeks.
Jake thinks that she is going to become an excellent rock climber--some day!

Both Abigail and Ala love this fabulous play mat!

Abigail loves this super warm hat!
Aunt Kate made it for Abigail!! Thank you Auntie Kate!!

. . . just waking up :)

Abigail's 1st HOCKEY GAME!!!!!!!

We had such a great time!!

Grandpa Jim, Grammie, Faith, and Daddy (Mommie is taking the picture)

Grammie and Abigail cuddled pretty much the entire game!

#1 Hockey Fans!!

Her new sleeping position--- no matter how hard we try to keep her on her back-- she always ends up on her tummy-- Uncle Todd suggests that we use velcro to keep her on her back--- humm... I don't know???

.....candy....candy.....candy......candy.....
(I am picturing Garfield saying this . . . )

"Please Mom... just one piece . . . .plllleeease!!"

After 15 minutes of vigorous effort ...
success . . .

"I didn't take anything Mom---I promise!" HA!
(don't worry folks-- we are not feeding Abigail any candy)

Nightly tradition: "Super Abigail"!! When Jake comes home from work Abigail is 'Super Abigail' for at least 10 minutes!!! What a great Daddy!!

weeeeeee......

Abigail is a "New Yorker Baby"-- Thanks to Auntie Elisabeth and Uncle Ty :)
(I would have to say that she is the cutest New Yorker Baby... ever. What do you two think??)


. . . phew . . . now you are all caught up on our lives! Until next week--- :) Love to all!!

Oh my goodness, she is soooo cute! I love that hat with the ears :)
I took a mirror reflection in the car photo just like the one you had up there, that is awesome. Great minds think alike!!

Who wouldn't want to cuddle with her? She is so so so CuTe!! Those wind burned cheeks were so sad and yet she was smiling in the picture with you outside. She is a doll and the cutest N.Y baby I'VE ever seen for sure. Trying to get the candy in the bowl was hilarious and victory was hers!! In your previous post about you talking all the time; I loved it! She will listen and grow smarter with you talking up a storm. No wonder she has so many stories to tell you. She is one smart little 4 mth. old.

Such a cute, adorable baby! I can't believe how big shes already gotten. With Jake as the dad she's going to be quite the adventurer. Probably rock climbing by herself at age 5! I can tell you guys are amazing parents.I love the picture of her falling asleep in the bumbo!(never heard of that but that cause I'm old.
